Master of The Mind by Sky Year One

This is a workshop piece for our workshop session on Tuesday 1st March. This poem was inspired by Renaissance poetics and beliefs. After doing some reading into this era, I became interested in the history and the style of thinking, in particular the concept of humanism. This piece discusses the theme of humanism, knowledge, and discovery. 


Master of The Mind

What is Knowledge?

It inspires, baffles 

And crackles,

Full of potential, full of courage.

It is a diver, exploring the depths

The dark, narrow alleyways.

In the face of danger, it retaliates

A golden sack of coins - wealth.

It re-emerges, victorious

Shining, like a pearl in the darkness.

Discover it within the pages - luxurious 

And open your eyes to the boundless

Wealth of knowledge.

Begin to break down the barriers

Of restriction and learn,

To see not with your ears,

But with your eyes.
